Air Travel Made Stressful

Well, the Fuzz's Sweetie is out of town for a while.  And the poor guy is trying to cope with it.  When you've been with somebody for 40 years it's a bit strange not having them around.
On the way to the airport, they suddenly came upon a spot where the traffic was at a standstill.  This was particularly stressful for The Fuzz.  For it was in almost the same spot, years ago, that the same thing had happened, causing him to miss his plane.  But fortunately this time they were right at an exit, and were able to get off the freeway and on to a real road.

It was not far to the airport.  (In the afore mentioned episode The Fuzz actually walked/ran there in an unsuccessful effort to make his plane!)  But it did cut down on the recommended arrival time*.  So The Fuzz dropped His Sweetie off at the terminal, and went to find a place to park.

This construction site is where the hourly parking deck used to be.  As Our Trusting Fuzz followed the signs, he about ran into a barrier blocking the way to the parking deck that was no longer there.  At this point he realized that he would have to park in the Daily parking deck, and ride the shuttle back to the terminal in the now faint hope of that last bit of sugar.
Sad to say he didn't make it.
But happy to say, His Sweetie did make it though the security gauntlet, and had a safe arrival at her snow covered destination.

Here's a look at "Queen Charlotte" who used to be right in front of the terminal.  Now she's out here stuck between the East Parking Deck and the (I suppose) West Parking Deck.  Of course you can still take the shuttle out there to see her.


* Now 90 insane minutes!

air travel is not fun much of the time. :-( Queen Charlotte looks kinda pissed.
